Text shortcuts
The option for 'Create text shortcut' only reads 'Text shortcut' and immediately goes back to the homepage when selected. Is there a setting that I need to change to solve this problem? Thanks.
iPad, iOS 7.1.1

It should actually read "Add New Shortcut..." but that, I think, is beside the point.
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists. If it does, please report back and we'll see if we can figure out next steps.
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately this has not solved the problem. I have also performed a reset from the option in 'Settings/General' but this has not helped. Any further suggestions you can make will be much appreciated.
Your next step is to restore your iPad. Perhaps something went wrond when updating. Follow these instructions...
My thanks again. I will let you know how I get on. Kind regards.
You're welcome. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Back again! Sorry to say that the restore and backup from iCloud has not solved the problem. After selecting 'keyboard' the title 'add new shortcut' appears very briefly and then changes to 'shortcuts' which then, on selecting it, reverts the iPad home page.
Try setting up a a new device and see if that helps.
Sorry to say this has not worked. Is it possible to reload the iOS 7 system and do you think this might help?
